There are some things that never go out of style. Sometimes the old and antiquated are the best and there’s no need for innovation or change- we got it right the first time. Castile soap is one of these things, and its use throughout the private label skincare community is widespread and warranted. It’s a simple soap, traditionally made of olive oil, and is a clean and effective form of soap typically devoid of any questionable animal products and additives. And it can be used for virtually everything.

Antioxidants are some of the most important ingredients for effective and youthening private label skincare. They help with everything from wrinkles and fine lines to dark spots, sun burn prevention and collagen production. They occur abundantly in nature, offering us a veritable buffet of skin saving choices. And found among these choices is CoQ10, one of the most potent antioxidants you could possibly use on your face.

Whether you meditate, like the look or appreciate the smell, candles have become popular additions to the home and spa. They make great gifts, brighten up a room, and can set the mood for a relaxing night at home. What you may not know is that, aside from the different fragrances used, not all candles are created the same. The type of wax used to make the candle has a great impact on the overall quality and safety of the candle, and that’s why we make sure to use the best, non-toxic, clean burning and biodegradable wax available.

Maybe you’ve already heard of Alpha Hydroxy Acids.

But whether or not you’ve heard of this AHA before, read on for the hows, whats and whys of this dead skin dissolving extraordinaire.

If your pet has ever gotten fleas before, then you already know what a pain it can be. Not only do the fleas cause itching and irritation for you pet, but if the fleas start to spread around your house (and they usually do), then you may find yourself with a few itchy flea bites of your own! While there are synthetic flea medications and creams you can buy to keep fleas away from you dog, they can be highly toxic and irritating to your pet, not to mention pricey. Thankfully, there is a natural flea-repelling alternative: essential oils.

We already have a pretty extensive citrus essential oil selection here at RainShadow Labs, but when given the opportunity we just couldn’t turn down bringing on another one.

Everybody loves the sunshine. Unfortunately, improper sun exposure and a lack of care can accelerate the aging process in the skin, causing wrinkles, fine lines and pigmentation.

And we have formulated just such a serum.

In the private label skincare world there are certain ingredients that are universally loved for the myriad of things you can do with them. Multidimensional ingredients provide increased levels of practicality and efficacy, and even offer the possibility of creating an entire line around one specific ingredient.

From soaps and scrubs to masks and lotions, there doesn’t seem to be a thing that Coconut oil can’t do.
